Charnwood Campus - Building 28, Loughborough, submitted by CPW and Charnwood Campus
Charnwood Campus Building 28 is a transformation of a dormant laboratory building into a futureproofed, high-specification research and development hub.
Located within the º£½ÇÊÓƵ's first Life Sciences Opportunity Zone, this ambitious project regenerated 9,417 square metres of vacant lab infrastructure in just 12 months.
Building 28 is described as a bold, successful blueprint for science-led, sustainability-driven regeneration.
It is emblematic of Charnwood Campus's broader ambition to develop into a globally competitive life sciences cluster centred on sustainability, collaboration and innovation.
Jewry Wall, Leicester, submitted by Pulse Consult and Leicester City Council
The Jewry Wall Museum regeneration restored and reimagined a grade II listed 1962 museum as an inclusive, accessible and sustainable cultural destination that would be a vibrant hub for learning, tourism and community engagement.
The project created a dynamic new museum that blends cutting-edge technology with historic conservation, offering immersive audio visual storytelling, interactive displays and more than 100 Roman artefacts located in Leicestershire.
New features include a dramatic glazed extension that visually connects the museum to the Roman ruins outside, interactive displays and a fully accessible pedestrian bridge from St Nicholas Circle.
Leicester Cathedral Revealed, Leicester, submitted by MDA Consulting
A major project at Leicester Cathedral featuring subtle repairs and renovations plus the design of an extension has made a lasting impact.
The project plays a significant role in supporting the economic revitalisation of Leicester's Cathedral Quarter and the wider city.
By enhancing the cathedral's infrastructure and introducing the new Heritage Learning Centre, the development has unlocked new economic potential.
The centre provides flexible, purpose-built spaces for learning, exhibitions and events - attracting increased footfall from schools, tourists and community groups that stimulate local businesses such as cafés, shops and hotels.
